    摘要: A gate opening and closing apparatus for moving a gate between a gate closed position which covers an access opening and a gate opened position. The apparatus comprises an electric motor for driving the gate between the open position and the closed position. A connecting arrangement connects the electric motor to the gate in order to enable powered movement of the gate between the gate opened and gate closed positions. A control unit in the form of a microprocessor control unit is operatively connected to the electric motor for control of the same and hence control of the movement of the gate. The gate normally remains unlocked at the closed position and is only locked when a force is applied to the gate tending to move same to the open position. In one embodiment, a positive locking mechanism, such as a solenoid lock may be provided and which is automatically locked when an opening force is applied to the gate. In another embodiment, the gate is not positively locked and the electric motor applies a closing force to the gate to overcome any effort of an opening movement. The gate opening and closing mechanism is uniquely constructed in that there is no gear box which would otherwise preclude a manual opening of the gate in the event of emergency.

    摘要: A voice communication system of the so-called "hands-off" type in which a telephone or other speaker-microphone combination in relatively noise free environment, usually an interior environment, can be in voice communication with a so-called "hands-off" speaker-microphone combination located in a relatively noisy environment, usually an exterior environment and where substantial and variable background noise may exist. A microprocessor is used to effectively monitor a telephone link between the two microphone-speaker combinations and will provide microphone control to that microphone located in the relatively noise free environment. Thus, if voice signals are detected on the telephone link, and if those voice signals eminate from the relatively noise free or relatively quiet environment, voice communication control will remain with the party in that environment. If the party in the relatively noise free or quiet environment ceases talking, then the party in the relatively noisy environment may exercise speaking control over the telephone link, but only so long as the party in the relatively noise free environment does not generate any sound over the voice communication link. The processor will constantly monitor to determine whether or not the party in the relatively noise free environment is attempting to exercise control over the link by speaking and will effectively provide that control to the party in that relatively noise free environment.

    摘要: A gate operator for moving a gate between two fixed end positions such as a gate opened position and a gate closed position and minimizing the possibility of impact with a fixed structure at either of these end positions. The operator relies upon measuring the number of electrical pulses or so-called counts representative of a distance between the two fixed end positions. The gate operator includes a controller in which the number of counts are measured between movement from an open position to a closed position, or a closed position to an open position, and the count is automatically readjusted to eliminate any hard contact of the gate at a fixed closed or open position. In one of the important embodiments of the invention, the gate operator utilizes a controlled coasting system. In this case, the gate is driven from one end position toward the other end position by a motor and the motor is de-energized by a preselected number of counts at a coasting position in advance of the end position toward which the gate is moving. If the gate still strikes the end position or overdrives the end position, the operator automatically compensates so that the gate automatically reaches the end position to which the gate is moving and automatically stops.

    摘要: An operator for an overhead door, such as a garage door, to raise and lower the door. The operator comprises a chain drive which is rotated about upper and lower pulleys and powered by a drive motor. Preferably, a pair of spaced apart drive chains are employed. A carriage is secured to the one or a pair of drive chains and is releasably connected to the drive chains by connecting blocks extending outwardly from the carriage. The garage door is thereupon secured to the carriage for raising and lowering movement thereof. Each drive chain includes one double-pitch link for connecting the ends of the chain to form a continuous loop. Each connecting block is provided with a releasable pin which extends into the double-pitch link for releasably securing the carriage to the drive chains. Removal of the pin for each drive chain will allow manual movement of the carriage and hence, the door. This construction precludes the connecting blocks or carriage from being driven to the sprocket where they would attempt to drive around the sprocket in the event that limit switches are not properly set. This construction also allows one to manually disengage the drive chain from the carriage in order to move the carriage and door in the event of a power failure.

    摘要: A gate operator with an extensible actuating arm adapted for light to moderate gate passing traffic. The operator comprises a small drive unit, such as an electric motor drive, and a rotatable drive shaft, such as a worm shaft driven through operation of the motor. An extensible shaft or so-called ball race shaft, cooperates with the rotatable shaft and extends inwardly or outwardly in response to rotation of the rotatable shaft. A microprocessor operated control circuit is used with or forms part of the operator, and measures a number of counts generated by magnetic elements rotatable with the worm shaft, and which are equivalent to distance units of measurement. In this way, the distance on the opening and closing movement is measured and stored in the microprocessor, so that on subsequent movements, the gate can open and close to precisely the open and closed positions without stopping short of or banging into such end positions. The motor mechanism of the operator is pulsed during the complete first opening movement and the complete first closing movement due to the fact that the operator does not know the exact position of the gate when the operator is first started. In this way, in the event of any bottoming out of the extensible and retractable arm, such as the ball race shaft against the end of the worm shaft, damage to the operator will not result.

    摘要: A gate opening and closing apparatus for automatically moving a gate between opened and closed positions and where the gate can be unlatched in order to permit manual opening and closing movement and easily re-latched for automatic movement thereof. The apparatus comprises a powered drive unit. The gate is moveable and, preferably rotatable about a vertical hinge axis, between a pair of opposite end positions. A drive arm forms part of the opening and closing apparatus and is driven in an arcuate path between a pair of end positions which represent a gate open position and a gate closed position. A coupling arm is normally engaged with the drive arm and may be moveable therewith between the opposite end positions represented by movement of the drive arm. A latching arm is provided for latching the coupling arm to the drive arm. A connecting mechanism connects the coupling arm to the gate to translate the movement from the drive arm and the coupling arm to the gate. When the latching arm holds the coupling arm to the drive arm, the coupling arm will provide automatic movement of the gate. The latching arm is capable of being shifted away from the drive arm to preclude automatic movement of the gate and thereby permit a manual opening and closing of the gate.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for simplifying and improving the reliability of communication between end users and access control systems such as those that include door and/or gate controllers, tenant access to buildings, and the like. In certain embodiments using an analog modem at the controller end of the system, the corresponding remote analog modem (which communicates with that analog modem at the controller end) is not within the direct control of the end user, and the end user's communicates instead via the user's standard hardware/software for communicating generally, such as via the Internet. Depending on the application, the control data can be maintained and/or synched at any selected combination or sub-combination of several locations: (1) the user's local system; (2) an intermediate server system; and/or (3) the controller end system. Preferred communication connections between the components provide improved ease of installation and use and reliability, as compared to prior art systems in which an end user's analog modem must be configured to directly communicate with a corresponding analog modem on a selected control device (such as a gate or door controller). Corresponding telephone/voice control preferably is also provided within the system, via POTS, a cellular telephone connection, VoIP, etc.
